slongmire Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I just installed WAMP 1.7.0 and was able to get into the phpMyAdmin page, where I wa able to set the password for root for MySQL5. However - I cannot use MySQLAdmin to administer this new MySQL installation. When I try to connect to localhost:3306 as root using the new password, I get a dialog bog saying: Either the server service or the configuration file could not be found. Startup variables and service selection are therefore disabled. If I click OK - the MySQLAdmin opens and shows the Server Information Page - which says the MySQL server service is running. But when I click the Service COntrol tab - it says the MySQL Service is stopped, and there is a bit of red text at the top that says: This section is only available when connected to localhost. I am completely baffled! What do I do to be able to use MySQLAdmin to administer this WAMP install of MySQL? This is the first time I have used WAMP - I installed MySQL 4 on a different machine from scratch some time ago, and have been able to use MySQLAdmin with it. Yes, this version of MySQLAdmin is the latest download from MySQL.com. Thanks!

slongmire Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 OK - From the MySQL MySQL Administrator Forum - since no one here understood, and in case anyone else runs across this .... simple fix (I think). Add these two lines to your my.ini file (I put them just above the [wampmysqld] section): [mysqld] port=3306 Thanks to Wade in the MySQL forums - it worked like a magic charm!
